It seems you need a separate set of pliers for every single job in this
hobby... it's starting to get really pricey.

Zanaida,
Split rings are used to attach charms on bracelets or necklaces, they
are
more secure than jump rings which can come apart. Some people use split
rings
to attach clasps for the same reason. You can also put split rings in
between
wire wrapped beads to extend the length of a bracelet.
If you are going to use split rings, you need a good pair of split ring
pliers
to save your finger nails.

You guys got me thinking. I counted and we have 13 pairs of pliers/cutters,
not counting the ones I keep in my repair box that I take to shows.
I have given up on crimp bead pliers and just use the smallest possible
crimp bead and flatten it with smooth jawed needle nose pliers.
